Malaysians are taking over the UK. I guess that might be a little bit of an exaggeration really but you might be surprised to learn the number of high profile companies which are actually owned by Malaysians/ Malaysian companies or in which they have a large share. Given below is a list of the companies:
1. Group Lotus Plc - Automobile / Sports cars / Engineering
Owned by Proton Holdings Berhad
2. Star Energy - Energy / Petroleum
Owned by Petronas
3. Wessex Water - Utilities / Water
Owned by YTL Corp
4. Laura Ashley Holdings Plc - Retail
Owned by Malayan United Industries (MUI) group
5. Jimmy Choo Ltd - Retail/ Shoes
Malaysian born Jimmy Choo owns 50% share
I am sure there are more but that's all I can think of for now.

ReplyDeleteSelamat Hari Raya
We try to enjoy ourselves when we can which is not that often due to all the pressure of doing a PhD and raising kids at the same time ;-)
There are quite a lot of malaysian owned british companies!
